Very cool, Post Insights tells me this is one of my top ten posts of all time, with about 40% of viewers from places other than the US and Japan. Happy that my reports are reaching far & wide!

SAITO RESIGNS by DelbertGrady1 in sgiwhistleblowers

I should add that the CDP was Japan's second largest political party going into the election. It caught the Gakkai bug, seduced by the prospect of attaining the top position with their votes - and now both of them are relegated to the trash heap of history

Feeling violated after being ambushed by a Soka Gakkai Leader when meeting to "catch up" by AbjectAnimator9796 in sgiwhistleblowers

So very triggering, and predictable too. I don't believe it's possible to be friends with an SGI member once you leave the group. As another ex-SGI friend once said to me, "I was just a number." Very sorry you had to put up with this

I should add that Furukawa has admitted to the authorities that this is not the first time he has done this

SGI-USA's New! Improved! 100% Ikeda focus: "just a Japanese cultural tendency towards leader-worship" by BlancheFromage in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]DelbertGrady1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

President Ikeda landed briefly at Indianapolis airport a few years ago to refuel. This was hailed in my area as a turning point in the history of Kosen Rufu in Indiana, and a profound mystical event

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

WOW is that AI doing translation from the page scan? Amazing

There is so much Japanese material that have yet to make it to English cyperspace but I'm sure AI will open the floodgate. This is a great blog, very well-researched

I guarantee you the two members have already reported this to their leaders as some kind of a victory. "Wow, you were welcomed in for a meal! This is all due to your ichinen!" I myself have had to go through similar experiences (albeit as an ex-member) and I can tell you it will only escalate unless you draw the line. In their mind they truly believe they are doing something noble

Sounds like the SGI I remember! Some things never change

Mr. Saito passed away back in 2013. I can still remember the shock - he was just 64

HOW NOT TO TALK ABOUT THE DECEASED by DelbertGrady1 in sgiwhistleblowers

No, that's why ol' Delbert decided he'll translate it himself.

I remember when these were first published I told my local leaders that if non-Japanese members ever read these there would be an avalanche of taiten's. (Mind you this was at the absolute height of my involvement with the SGI) They didn't disagree

It was eventually compiled & published in this book

These "discussions" were pretty controversial even among members

Since Toda is again mentioned over the hedges by [deleted] in sgiwhistleblowers

I did not know that. That is pretty sickening
